I have received a bunch of PMs this past week about Supporting Memberships. Due to that I wanted to put a notice for all to see should they be interested.

I want to have discrete control over different parts of each string, so I defined my elements at a fairly granular level. For example, I configured the lower roof peak above the garage door with 4 elements and you can see how I grouped them in the attached screenshot of the preview configuration

Here is the issue. I want to configure a chase down each side of the roof that starts at the peak. Here is the configuration in the sequence:vixen-chase-order-1.jpg

On the right side, the chase properly starts at the peak and runs down the right side of the roof.
On the left side though, the chase starts half-way down the left side - reaches the bottom - continues at the peak - and ends in the middle In the image below, the two chases should both be at the peak heading down opposite sides of the roof.vixen-chase-order-2.jpg

Where can I specify the relationship between group "Lower-Roof-Garage-left-left" and "Lower-Roof-Garage-left-center" to have the chase start at the peak and flow to the bottom left? The chase is starting on the left-left group rather than left-center.

Re: help with ordering sequence of strings in a group

You could try moving the Lower-Roof-Garage-left-left group beneath the center group in display setup. Admittedly I haven't tried this as I don't typically use chase. Wipe is location based and should do exactly what you want with no changes.

The order of pixels in those groups matter as well. Grouping can play a huge role in making your sequencing stand out. My very first year I only had 60 pixels split 5 each on 12 stars. I think I had 10 different groupings so I could do different effects with the lights.
